Grand Velas Riviera Maya Pressroom

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico (October 28, 2024) -  Velas Resorts is taking the trend of picking out a specific wedding day fragrance and cologne to new heights with the introduction of a customized wedding scent experience. The avant-garde "Scent Your Love Story" experience offers the curation of bespoke signature interior fragrances with the help of an expert scent designer. Couples choosing to wed at one of Velas Resorts' seven luxury hotels in Riviera Maya, Puerto Vallarta, or Cabo San Lucas, Mexico are invited to embark on a holistic scent journey when planning their wedding, from a discovery consultation with the scent designer to diffusion throughout the entire wedding venue and unique take home gifts for guests. 

The "Scent Your Love Story" journey begins with a consultation led by a Velas Resorts scent designer. Guided by the designer's expertise, couples will share their favorite scents, memories, and desired wedding mood to create a personalized and meaningful olfactory experience. The designer will translate the couple's preferences into a custom wedding fragrance, drawing inspiration from locations important to the couple, favorite flowers, special memories, emotions and moods. Once the big day arrives, the Velas team will diffuse the custom fragrance throughout the wedding venue, from the ceremony space and reception location, to the bridal suite and guest rooms. Couples will also have the option to integrate their personal scent into wedding favors, such as candles and room sprays, offering a cherished keepsake for the couple and their guests. 

Using a customized wedding scent not only enhances the overall experience of the ceremony, but also brings couples together when reliving the memories at home with a simple sniff. "Smell is closely connected to memory, and this olfactory experience enables couples to reflect on their favorite memories during their wedding and relive their wedding day every time they smell their take-home signature scent," said Yessica Lira, Corporate Wedding Manager for Velas Resorts. "Each couple's love story is uniquely captured and celebrated with their closest family and friends, creating a personalized and memorable experience."

Velas Resorts provides a variety of opportunities for novel experiences and entertainment at their properties. Oversized Frida and Diego mojigangas (puppets), a margarita cake menu, a surprise elopement party, traditional Kermes rehearsal dinner, celestial wedding package, and a carajillo bar are among the other unique experiences for weddings offered from the Velas Weddings team. Inclusive of complete wedding planning services on property with certified wedding specialists, couples will find everything they need to plan their destination wedding from start to finish.

The Scent Your Love Story experience starts at $245 USD inclusive of the on-site consultation, creation of the custom wedding fragrance, and a small take home bottle for the couple. Additional costs apply for distribution in an onsite venue and take-home gift bottles.
